Creating a Basic ACL

Procedure

1. Run system-view

   The system view is displayed.

2. Run acl { name basic-acl-name { basic | [ basic ] number basic-acl-number } | [ number ] basic-acl-number } [ match-order { config | auto } ]

   A basic ACL is created.

   The basic ACL number ranges from 2000 to 2999.

3. (Optional) Run step step

   An ACL increment is set.

   You can use an ACL increment to maintain ACL rules and add new ACL rules conveniently.

   

   Assume that a user has created four rules numbered from 1 to 4 in an ACL. The user can reconfigure the ACL increment, for example, to 2 by running the step 2 command in the ACL view. The original rule numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are renumbered as 2, 4, 6, and 8, respectively. After that, the user can run the rule 3 command to add a rule numbered 3 between the renumbered rules 2 and 4.

4. (Optional) Run description text

   The ACL description is configured.

   The description command configures a description for an ACL in any of the following situations:

   • A large number of ACLs are configured, and their functions are difficult to identify.
   • An ACL is used at a long interval, and its function may be left forgotten.
   • Names of named ACLs cannot fully explain the ACLs' functions.

5. Run commit

   The configuration is committed.
